Appendix B
Contract Clauses

B.1 General

B.1.1 Introduction

This Appendix sets forth the general clauses to be included in solicitations and contracts and clauses that (1) may be included at the discretion of the purchase team or (2) must be included due to the type of contract used, the commodity being purchased, or due to other policies, laws, or Executive Orders discussed in Chapters 1 through 9 of the Postal Service Interim Internal Purchasing Guidelines.

B.1.2 Numbering of Clauses

Clauses are numbered by the chapter of the Guidelines in which their use is discussed. Thus Clause 8-6, Rights in Technical Data, is prescribed in Chapter 8. Some clauses are not discussed in Chapters 1 through 9 or are discussed as alternates to the term and conditions contained in Clause 4-1, General Terms and Conditions, but are included in this Appendix and may be used in contracts as deemed appropriate by the purchase team; these clauses are identified by a "B" prefix. In addition, clauses unique to design and construction and mail transportation highway contracts are also included, and these are also identified by the "B" prefix. In parentheses to the right of the clause title is a reference to the chapter, section, and part where the clause is discussed.
